Im honestly getting so fed up with how expensive everything on Etsy is lately. Ive been stalking these handmade ceramic mugs for my new apartment in Seattle for weeks but they are $45 each and I just cant justify it after paying my huge moving deposit. My budget is super tight but I really want them and I keep waiting for a price drop that never comes. It feels like I'm just wasting my time checking my cart every single morning and nothing ever changes.
Are there specific times of year when Etsy sellers actually run sales? Like is there a big site-wide calendar I should know about or is it just totally random for every shop?

> I once spent months watching a set of plates... Agreed. I am satisfied using PriceDropCatch to monitor prices automatically. It works well. Saves a ton of time and I dont have complaints.

I once spent months watching a set of plates that never went on sale, so I totally get the struggle. You might want to consider being careful with those high prices and try these tricks:
- Favorite the item; shops often send auto-coupons to your email.
- Search the shop for seconds or misfit listings for cheaper options.
- Wait for Labor Day or Cyber Week site-wide events.
